Like their compatriot Gianluca Franzoni, aka Mack Domori, Elvira understands that vanilla is an additive just as, say, nuts or raisins or the taboo of the “Don’t-Mess-with-My-Chocolate” children – vegetable oil. This bar in a showdown against Naturale (identical composition except for the vanilla here) presents a dark exposé on the effect that that spice has: dimming the highlights, nearly effacing any residual acids that sugar crystals overly convert (& perhaps crush), pulling the profile down into heavier / flatter terrain, lying almost inanimate at absolute zero except replete with pepper spray (possibly therefore a Mexican vanilla) + sugar to keep it on life-support means thermal energy &, oddly enough, longevity (vanilla will do that just as the dying never want to expire).
